Conqueredxthe World
The song conquered the world.
It was known and shouted and
whistled in every crossroads of
America. Then the fires died down,
tmly to blaze again when Theodore
Roosevelt and his impassioned cotorts,
in need of a spirited marchng
tune, which' would symbolize
their zeal and vigor, made it the
.homo oong of the Bull Moose Conmention
in Chicago in 1912. It was
again reyiveH In thfl Wftrlrt Wnr, Vthe
doughboys changing the first
line of the chorus to "When you see
>ur Yankee flghtin' line."
The Song is thus indelibly woven
with the history of America, la a
jeloved part of musical folklore.
